an Immigrant Girls' Home which saves many from temptation while they are seeking employment, and helps them secure places in Christian families." [93] Rev. Joel S. Ives, pamphlet, "The Foreigner in New England." [94] Appendix C. [95] Some denominations already have theological training departments for foreign people. The French-American College at Springfield, Massachusetts, is the first distinctive training school for foreigners. [96] "The Foreign Problem." Published by the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions. [97] Rev. F. H. Allen, in _Home Missionary_ for January, 1906. [98] Rev. C. W. Shelton reports typical cases, that could be duplicated by every secretary of a Home Missionary Society and every missionary. In one mission church a young Swede girl gave $25 a month, out of her earnings as cook, toward the pastor's support. In a Finnish church, another young woman pledged $30 a month out a salary of $50. A Chinese mission in California supports three native workers in China. A Slav Mission Sunday-school in Braddock, Pennsylvania, with thirty members, gave out of its poverty, as one year's record, $6 for home missions, $1.25 for windows in a new Bohemian church, $1 for missionary schools, $6.35 for maps, and $6 for a foreign missionary ship. Nearly fifty cents a member these Slavs gave; and that amount per member from all Christian Churches and Sunday-schools would make the missionary treasuries much fuller than at present. [99] Words used by Dr. A. L. Phillips, of Richmond, Va., at the Asheville Conference, July, 1906. [100] From Annual Report of Commissioner-General of Immigration for 1905.
